Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 247: Stop showing off, get down now!

Chapter 247: Chapter 247: Stop showing off, get down now!

Nanling Bully lowered his voice. "Young Master Ning, may I have a word in private?"

Several women stood behind Ning Xuan, most of whom looked to be in their teens. Having to ask for help in front of them, Nanling Bully found it hard to swallow his pride.

Ning Xuan wasn’t about to consider his feelings. "Just say it here. They aren’t outsiders."

Nanling Bully had no choice but to awkwardly confess the mess he had made. After he finished, he asked Ning Xuan, "Could Young Master Ning think of a way to help me out?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Wu Pianpian. She was from the Bi Luo Palace; perhaps she had the item he needed. He was at his wit’s end, willing to try anything. But as luck would have it, he had found the right person.

"You’ve come to the right place. I happen to have exactly what you need!"

With that, Wu Pianpian brandished the item she had already prepared under Ning Xuan’s instruction.

Nanling Bully was overjoyed.

"Fairy, please help me! I know the rules. I’ll add another hundred million!"

This time, he didn’t hesitate in the slightest. After all, the grand tournament below had been paused for quite a while. More importantly, the bigwigs watching from above must be getting impatient.

"I snuck this item out. If I get discovered..."

"Two hundred million! Fairy, please, be kind and help me. After all, I’m not looking to buy it from you, just borrow it."

Nanling Bully was practically begging.

Wu Pianpian was inwardly beaming. The thing in her hand was the very same one he had brought in the first place. Yet after a few of her Junior Brother’s clever maneuvers, not only did they make three hundred million Heavenly Crystals for nothing, but they also acquired a brand-new device researched by the Upper Realm’s Bi Luo Palace! This was a massive win! Right, what did he call this again? Junior Brother called it ’getting something for nothing’! In a word, exhilarating!

"Then let’s stick to the old rules," Wu Pianpian said, putting on an act. She dawdled for a moment before preparing a promissory note.

Nanling Bully’s mouth twitched. He could tell the promissory note had been prepared in advance.

Damn it! I haven’t been scammed by Ning Xuan, have I?!

He instinctively looked toward Ning Xuan, only to be met with a puzzled expression and an innocent smile.

Forget it, forget it. Nanling Bully decided not to dwell on such frustrating thoughts.

After he briskly signed the note, Ning Xuan took immediate action. Nanling Bully, who had already humbled himself before approaching, immediately saw the red light flickering at the bottom of the mobile villa. He finally felt at ease.

After a word of thanks, he left as quickly as he could. As for asking Ning Xuan to participate in the tournament again, he didn’t dare even mention it. He had figured it out now. That guy Ning Xuan was treating the Ten Clans Grand Tournament as a personal money-making machine!

Now, he just wanted the tournament to end as quickly as possible. As for whether it was exciting or not... to hell with it!

Nanling Bully decided to just slack off. He was only here to supervise anyway; the Heavenly Palace was the one truly in charge! This conviction only strengthened when he returned to the ground and saw You Ruo acting as if nothing had happened.

The Ten Clans Grand Tournament began once more.

Ning Xuan led the women into the mobile villa’s dedicated media room to watch the live broadcast. In front of them was a huge spread of food. It gave Ning Xuan the strange feeling that he was watching the World Cup.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t play with balls. His senior sisters would certainly never allow that.

"You know, their skills are actually quite impressive!" Wu Pianpian remarked, critiquing the fighters on the screen.

The other women nodded in agreement.

Ning Xuan brought his focus back to the event and began watching seriously.

Time passed, and eventually, only four people remained on the final stage!

One was Jiang Boya of the Jiang Family.

Another was Ye Yi of the Ye Family!

The other two were dark horses: one was Chu Tian, the other Mo Wu!

As for Chu Yang of the Chu Family and Mo Junxin of the Mo Family, they had been unexpectedly eliminated. These four now had to compete for the final three spots!

"Alright, that’s enough. No need to compete further. Just ascend the Heavenly Ladder," Nanling Bully suddenly announced. He just wanted to get this over with and report back.

The four remaining contestants were somewhat surprised but said nothing. Being able to conserve their strength before ascending the Heavenly Ladder was a good thing.

"Hold on!" You Ruo suddenly interjected.

Nanling Bully frowned.

"Uncle Buliang, please be patient. The tournament isn’t over yet," You Ruo said with a sweet smile. "You can come out now, can’t you?"

Everyone exchanged confused glances, having no idea what she had up her sleeve. Nanling Bully’s eyebrows shot up. Such mystifying theatrics! He refused to believe anyone could hide from his perception!

At that moment, inside the mobile villa, Ning Xuan sat up straight. If he wasn’t mistaken, the one about to make the grand finale entrance was Ningyang’s Heavenly Realm Dao Body!

And he was right.

The moment You Ruo finished speaking, the void in a corner of the dueling platform twisted.

Then, a figure stepped out!

It was Ningyang’s Dao Body! 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Someone in the crowd recognized him immediately, whispering in shock, "Ning Yang!"

"That’s Ning Yang! Didn’t they say he already left?!"

"A Dao Body! That’s one of his Dao Bodies!"

HISS!

Many couldn’t help but gasp. Just a mere Dao Body possessed the ability to hide within the void—that was completely off the charts!

"How can it be him?!" Nanling Bully couldn’t help but exclaim upon seeing Ningyang’s Dao Body.

"Does Uncle Buliang know him?"

Nanling Bully nodded, his expression extremely complex. It was more than just knowing him. Sometime earlier, a young man with a King Realm Cultivation had caused a massive commotion in Yao Guang. It had reached a point where even figures from the older generation had to step in.

But then, they quickly received an astonishing piece of news. That King Realm youth was merely a Dao Body!

All of Yao Guang was stunned.

After that, he had vanished without a trace. Gradually, Nanling Bully stopped paying attention, as he had to prepare for his duties in the Lower Realm. To now encounter another of the man’s Dao Bodies here was a great surprise.

But his surprise quickly turned to excitement. He was certain that the bigwigs from High Heaven would be absolutely thrilled to see Ningyang’s Dao Body!

"You little rascal, you kept me completely in the dark!"

"Uncle Buliang, you misunderstand. I only received his telepathic message a short while ago," You Ruo replied, naturally denying everything.

"That’s not important, not important at all. What are your plans now?"

You Ruo shook her head. "That’s up to him. I certainly can’t order him around."

They both turned their gazes to Ningyang’s Dao Body on the dueling platform.

On the stage, Ningyang’s Dao Body looked at the four contestants and sighed. "To think I looked forward to your so-called Ten Clans Grand Tournament for so long, only for it to be such a disappointment. All four of you can come at me together."

His arrogance was boundless!

The four ignored him completely. The scene became incredibly awkward!

Ningyang’s Dao Body was taken aback. He had provoked them so blatantly, yet the four remained completely unmoved? What was going on here? He was utterly baffled.

Nanling Bully was also a bit dumbfounded. This Ningyang’s Dao Body was not what he had imagined. Those were not the words of a truly supreme prodigy.

"Stop showing off and get down from there!" someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, though no one knew who.

Well, that did it. The already awkward atmosphere just became even more strained.

And it wasn’t over yet.
